Outcomes following intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA in a national cohort of nursing home residents
Among this population of NH residents, who are by definition frail and comorbid, rates of repeat onabotulinumtoxinA injections are comparable to retrospective analyses of younger adults and independent of frailty and comorbidity. Based on these findings, surgeons should consider the entire clinical picture when evaluating patients for onabotulinumtoxinA injections and should not necessarily exclude those who are frail or comorbid from this potentially quality-of-life-improving therapy.
